Abstract Details

Purpose:

To study the features of the Glautex drainage implantation technique for anti-glaucomatous surgery in children.

Setting:

Congenital glaucoma is one of the main causes of blindness and low vision in children, which reaches up to 0.1% in the structure of eye pathology , while children with glaucoma constitute from 5 to 15% among students in schools of the blind and visually impaired.

Methods:

We examined and operated on 17 (34 eyes) children who are hospitalized in the eye department of the clinic of the Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute with primary congenital glaucoma. The age of patients ranged from 10 days to 3 years.

Results:

We operated on 17 patients who underwent anti-glaucomatous surgery: sinus-trabeculotomy using Glautex bio-degradable drainage, taking into account the following technical nuances: cut the scleral flap at the site where surgery had not previously been performed; when forming a scleral flap, it is necessary to clearly determine in advance the width of the flap, using dividers, which should be 3.0 mm. and length - 3.0mm .; when cutting the flap, its size is reduced, which must be taken into consideration when forming it. After the performed AGO, the postoperative period was reactive. All children with satisfactory health condition were discharged home under the supervision of an ophthalmologist at the place of residence.

Conclusions:

When conducting anti-glaucomatous operations using Glautex drainage, it is necessary to observe some technical nuances to prevent intra- and postoperative complications.
